Maine Gov. ready to sign bill allowing babies to be killed up until birth

Baby in womb at 40 weeks


They don't hide it anymore--the left is either coming for your child or is willing to kill him or her up until birth. 

The Democrat Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, is saying that she's willing to sign  bill — H.P. 1044, An Act to Improve Maine’s Reproductive Privacy Laws — that would allow a mother to have a late-term abortion at any point if it's determined to be "necessary" by a person with an MD before their name, but who doesn't abide by the Hypocratic oath. 

It's likely the bill will be codified as Mills introduced it in January along with two other Democrats, House Speaker Rachel Talbot Ross and Senate President Troy Jackson.
 

At the time, Mills credited the case of Maine woman Dana Peirce as justification for the expanded legalization of abortion. She wanted to kill her unborn son after he was diagnosed with skeletal dysplasia, a lethal mutation. She traveled to Colorado where they have legalized the killing of babies, no questions asked whose answer would stop the killing. 

Maine law prohibits post-viability abortions where the mother’s life or health are not jeopardized. The law does allow elective abortions up to viability, generally recognized at 24 weeks.

“No Maine person should have to endure the same physical, emotional, psychological, and financial burden that Dana and her family had to in order to receive medical care,” Mills said.

H.P. 1044 passed out of the Maine Senate 20-11 on Thursday. The state House passed the bill last month, 73-69.

During the Senate’s final vote, Republican state Sen. Stacey Guerin raised concerns about doctors and mothers determining unborn children diagnosed with disabilities to be unworthy of life. But even more, there are plenty of times a fetal diagnosis is wrong, and perhaps allowing G_d to decide one's fate is the way to go.

“Were they of less value to society?” Guerin asked. “When we start down the path of deciding who is worthy of life, where do we stop? Where did governments before us stop in deciding who had the right to live, and who had the right to die, to make it convenient for the parents, the government, for business?”

Another Republican state senator, Eric Brakey, questioned why the Left refused to narrow the abortion issue to only cases of fetal abnormalities [mother's life is, in all states, protected by law over the abortion issue], rather than being expansive and include all killing of the unborn and those ready to pass through the birth canal. But whenever leftists see an opportunity to impose their ideology on all of us, they do. It used to be: safe, legal, and rare, but that's a bad joke now.

“We are really opening the door here for those circumstances where […] a fully-developed baby could be killed for any number of reasons,” said Brakey.

State Sen. Brakey introduced several unsuccessful amendments to mitigate the legislation’s impact. One reworked the bill’s language to only expand post-viability abortions to cases where the unborn child suffers from a fatal fetal abnormality likely to result in death within 30 days post-birth. Another proposed instituting a four-year moratorium on the sale or transfer of aborted fetal remains to for-profit or nonprofit entities.

State Sen. Anne Carney, a Democrat, declared that the bill represented compassion for families facing trying times, a clever use of language to hide the slaughtering of the soon-to-be-born baby.

During the final House vote on the bill, Republican State Rep. Tracy Quint argued that the bill would allow for abortions to take place without any valid reason.

“This bill allows babies at this age group of viability to be killed[,] at any time, for any reason, truly, for no reason at all,” she said. “Please allow our most vulnerable ones the chance of survival.”

Democratic State Rep. Bruce White broke ranks and voted against the bill, comparing the legislation to the historical persecution of classes of individuals that faced dehumanization and genocide for their differences.

“To me, this isn’t about winning the next election; it’s about upholding the dignity and rights of the human person,” said White. “The vagueness [of this bill] puts at risk the lives of late-term, healthy, pre-born children.”

Republican State Reps. Lucas Lanigan and David Boyer, both RINOs and pro-choice, said that even they found the bill to be too extreme.

The bill is the latest in the state’s efforts to increase its ability to kill babies at any point in the pregnancy. And if history teaches us anything about the Lunatic Left, we can assume that they wouldn't stop at 9 months, so you better do your homework, kids.
